For comercial drivers it is not allowed to use "Sleeper Berth" on your log book unless there is a sleeper (bed) in the truck.
But you can drive without a bed as long as you follow the rules.
Not also that you must have an actual DOT legal sleeper in order to be able to use the Sleeper Berth line - a bed alone does not make it a DOT legal sleeper. The FMSCA website has the required specifications for a DOT legal sleeper.
Additionally, you don't want to be caught sleeping in that vehicle if you have to log your down time as Off Duty. If, for example, you're running a hotshot with a pickup, and you stop in a rest area only to find that DOT set up an inspection station there, you will get hammered if a motor carrier enforcement officer sees that you were in that vehicle while you were on the off duty line.
Now, if you're referring to just driving a cab and chassis truck, and not referring to a sleeper berth in a CMV, that's perfectly legal, so long as you meet the lighting requirements at the rear of the vehicle.
yes

Nope, so long as you have tail lights, brake lights, turn signals, and reverse lights. Don't forget mud flaps behind your rear wheels. And you MAY have to have a bumper or "ICC bar" to protect from a rear end accident. ( it keeps a vehicle in a rear end accident from driving under your truck)
In Missouri, it is legal for passengers to ride in the bed of a truck if the vehicle is traveling under 35 miles per hour and if the passengers are seated in a safe manner. However, anyone under the age of 16 is prohibited from riding in the bed of a truck on any road, regardless of the speed limit. Make sure to comply with these regulations to stay within the law.
It is incredibly illegal. So If you were dared, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES DO THIS!!
In most states, it is illegal to ride in the bed of a truck unless the truck is specifically designed for passengers in that area or if there are safety measures in place, such as seat belts and seating. It is important to check the laws in your specific state to know the regulations regarding riding in the bed of a truck.
It's illegal to drive (or keep a motor vehicle) on UK roads without valid tax, MOT and insurance, so bring the car back on a flat bed truck or similar and store it off road.
As long as it is secure and contained within the bed of the truck.
Oh, dude, technically it's not illegal to drive with your truck's tailgate down in Tennessee. But like, it's not the safest move either, you know? Your stuff might fall out, and you'll look like you're trying to air out your truck's backside. So, like, use your judgment, man.
